The System Setup and Other Setup menus
This function mixes the sound of the surround
speakers with the surround back speakers so
that the surround sound is heard from diago-
nally to the rear as it should be.
Depending on the positions of the speakers and
the sound source, in some cases it may not be
possible to achieve good results. In this case,
set the setting to
ON SIDE
or
IN REAR
.
!
ON SIDE
– Select when the surround
speakers is positioned right beside you.
!
IN REAR
– Select when the surround speaker
is positioned obliquely behind you.

select Yes.
If
No
is selected, the setting is not changed.
You will return to the
Manual SP Setup
menu.
Speaker Setting
Use this setting to specify your speaker configu-
ration (size, number of speakers and crossover
frequency). It is a good idea to make sure that
the settings made in

ing optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC)

applies to all MCACC presets, and cannot be
set independently.

SW
– LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to
SMALL
are output from the
subwoofer when
YES
is selected. Choose the
PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to
output bass sound continuously or you want
deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would
normally come out the front and center
speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If
you did not connect a subwoofer choose
NO
(the bass frequencies are output from other
speakers).
—
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of
bass, it may seem logical to select
LARGE
for your front speakers and
PLUS
for the
subwoofer. This may not, however, yield
the best bass results. Depending on the
speaker placement of your room you
may actually experience a decrease in
the amount of bass due low frequency
cancellations. In this case, try changing
the position or direction of speakers. If
you can’t get good results, listen to the
bass response with it set to
PLUS
and
YES
or the front speakers set to
LARGE
and
SMALL
alternatively and let your ears
judge which sounds best. If you’re having
problems, the easiest option is to route
all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by
selecting
SMALL
for the front speakers.
If you select
NO
for the subwoofer the front
speakers will automatically be fixed to
LARGE
.
Also, the center, surround, surround back, front
height and front wide speakers can’t be set to
LARGE
if the front speakers are set to
SMALL
.
In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the
subwoofer.
3 Select ‘X. OVER’ and set the crossover
frequency.
Frequencies below this point will be sent to the
subwoofer (or
LARGE
speakers).
!
This setting decides the cutoff between bass
sounds playing back from the speakers
selected as
LARGE
, or the subwoofer,
and bass sounds playing back from those
selected as
SMALL
. It also decides where
the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE
channel.
!
With
Full Auto MCACC
setup
or
Auto MCACC
setup (
ALL
or
Speaker Setting
), the setting here will not
apply and the crossover frequency will be
automatically set. Crossover frequency is a
frequency aimed at achieving the optimal
sound field taking into account the bass
capacity of all connected speakers and
human aural characteristics.
!
If you’re using THX speakers, confirm that
the crossover frequency is set to
80Hz
.
4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the
Manual SP Setup
menu.
